Its been a while.

Hi people. Sorry, yeah, I know, its been a while. Sorry. Let's see what's new... oh, two Saturdays ago I went to the Scottish Games in Pleasanton with my family. It was so much fun! To all of you non-Andersons they might sound weird, but they are SERIOUSLY fun. I had so much junk food there... like that funnel cake I had...wow. And at our clan tent thingy (go Clan Rose!) there was this guy we are apparently very very distantly related to, and he was super funny! He was totally like one of those ultimate nerdy people who aren't afraid to me and it was HILARIOUS! So that was great.

Also the night before we went there me and my cousins and lil' brother made this "Anderson Idol" video for YouTube which my cuz Sahara might actually put on. I was the one singing. They told me I did great and all, but I'm really not sure if I want my singing to go on YouTube. I mean dude, that would be kinda...embarrassing? Weird? Yeah so I dunno what I think about all this. I'll tell you guys if it actually gets on YouTube.

Oh, last Wednesday I started a jazz class at Dance Connection. AMAZINGLY fun. It was just me and Maddiemoo and two other girls, but our teacher was really nice and I actually DID dance kinda good. Except (and this was SO frustrating) okay I could TOTALLY do a pirouette (a full turn) at the beginning of class, but by the end of class I TOTALLY couldn't!!!! It was so embarrassing. And I was gonna practice pirouetting this week (along with practicing voice and cello...haven't done any of that in a while though) but I didn't and the next class is tomorrow. Dude, I hope some magical power has come into me this week so I can actually do a pirouette without falling over. Hopefully.

OH OH OH auditions in orchestra at school are this week. I'm scared. I really hope the sixth grade cellos this year aren't that great cause I honestly (like I said earlier) haven't practiced my cello much. Even though my lessons have started up again. Yeah, in case you can't tell, I'm a TINY bit *cough cough* irresponsible when it comes to practicing...well...anything at home. So I hope the same magical power that will help me pirouette in jazz will come upon me when I audition. One can hope. 

OH OH OH OH and I had another voice lesson on Friday. It was AWESOME I think I am totally getting better!!!! It is so much fun singing in this new way. I don't sound good yet, but I'm STILL like so excited about my lessons! Oh that reminds me, I need to practice for my next lesson on Friday. Haven't done it yet. Beginning to see a pattern? I am. Like, really.

And then on Saturday (sorry this is a long blog) our church youth group thingy went on an AMAZING beach trip that was so awesome! We went to Sunset Beach, which is south of Santa Cruz, I think. I jumped in the waves a lot (and got knocked over by several of them) and we had a barbecue dinner and we watched a beautiful sunset and it was basically all that a beach trip should be. Although I was SUPER tired on the 2 hour drive on the way home. And I was kinda in a bad mood then, but the rest of the trip was super super fun. 

Today in PE we did volleyball. And I was on a team with a lot of.....well....interesting people. At first I was like "Oh great, this will be so fun (not)" but it was actually really entertaining watching all these obnoxious boys all get so worked up about volleyball! It was probly the most exciting class of the day. And for PE, that's big.

Okay, one final thing. I need to raise, like, a LOT of money for this Atlanta trip I'm going on, and I need ideas for raising money. So, any suggestions would be appreciated greatly! 

Alright, love ya all!!!!! <3

Practicing, Schmactising! (Don't tell your mom I said that! Or my mom!!) :) My orchestra conductor up here was exhorting us to practice, and I could hardly keep from laughing the whole time. "Seriously? Me? Practice? You think that is something I am willing to do? My mom and all the cello teachers I have ever had will quickly inform you that it is not!!" But then, I correspondingly ASK to be put in the very back row whenever possible--then no one can tell how unpracticed I am!

Probably my cello-ing life should be an example to you of what NOT to do. So, uh, go do some scales or something! Quick! (PS longest comment EVER? Sheesh...)
